<br>
Type compatibility in Oberon<br>

<br>
It is apparent to me that a lot of thought has gone into the preparation of<br>
this document. It would be very useful to any Oberon programmer who was<br>
having difficulty understanding why his program would not compile due to a<br>
type-compatibility issue.<br>
<br>
I haven't used OBNC so can't say how well it conforms to these rules -<br>
knowing August's great attention to detail I would expect it to be 'very<br>
well'. While the Astrobe ARM compilers comply with the vast majority of<br>
these rules there are one or two minor exceptions. These are described in<br>
the accompanying documentation. You should also expect some very minor<br>
relaxations of the rules (e.g. ARRAY OF BYTE parameters) when using the<br>
Project Oberon RISC5 compiler. <br>
